LOST CAT / NOT AT HOME *For example. Lost while taking a walk, at a park, the beach, CAT SITTING IMPORTANT TIPS: TAKING ACTION IN PERSON IS CRITICAL 💖🐱I've reunited over 100 lost cats and many were cats that escaped or ran from cars or got lost IN A PARK or BEACH ..the key is to go BACK there AT NIGHT to call for kitty calmly where kitty was last/ where kitty FIRST GOT OUT - EVEN when the run off initially - at night they tend to return to exactly where they were displaced - Shine a flashlight under parked cars where they are often hiding under at night… 💖🐱Even Indoor/outdoor Cats that get lost in a NEW TERRITORY will act exactly like an INDOOR-ONLY cat that gets outside - they will find the 1st place to hide and HUNKER DOWN in SILENCE - They will remain VERY NEAR. Cats that are scared and in foreign environment will often NOT meow/ respond to calls even from their human (at first) ...though Kitty still needs to HEAR your CALM voice and keep hearing you (until kitty THINKS it’s safe to come forward) so do not stop calling out for kitty i your normal calm voice... Kitty is in survival mode and meowing would give away the hiding spot to predators. 💖🐱The best thing to do is hang out where kitty escaped from sunset until as late as you possibly can. Or return between 12am -3am when cats are most active. Bring the stinkiest wet food you can to place in bowl/dish...walk very slowly and call kitty’s name...BUT...THIS IS IMPORTANT...you need to STAY IN ONE SPOT and STILL for at least 20 minutes per spot -- kitty will hear your voice and want to come to you BUT kitty needs to know it is safe....wear warm clothes…. 💖🐱If you cannot get WIFI from a neighbor to aim a $29 mini blink camera or you are in a remote location (BEACH or PARK) THEN you must use a battery operated camera. Aim the WILD LIFE battery operated CAMERA at wet food bowl you leave by escape point - Here is an inexpensive one that works well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GLQ8T4P3?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_MQ5QRHFH3ZTKTXNEW996 so you can check footage in the AM and see WHO ate the food. Once you see your cat spotted on camera eating the food but still hiding from your calls THEN the next step is trapping your cat using a humane trap. RENT from your local animal shelter or borrow from a cat rescue. You can’t believe how guardians are shocked to find their cat on camera after days and weeks and months of kitty missing - camera aimed at wet food is KEY. replace the food every am and sunset be consistent. Other cats and animals may eat the food - they watch each other, leave more food. .. Be patient...Don't give up! Kitty is out there. It can take several days before the hunger threshold is hit and kitty comes out of hiding at night to look for food. 💖🐱Prevent ants from swarming the wet food - place the bowl inside a larger bowl and fill the outer bowl with water so ants and bugs can’t cross over into the wet food - ONLY Put out wet food (if pate add water and mix so it’s slushy) WET FOOD ONLY - do NOT put out DRY FOOD or you will attract raccoons 💖🐱BATTERY operated camera NO WIFI needed: Wildlife/Trail camera Check footage manually: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GLQ8T4P3?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_MQ5QRHFH3ZTKTXNEW996 💖🐱TRAPPING/ LURING YOUR CAT: yes in a new location you sometimes have to humanely trap your own cat because they may be too scared to come forward to you when they are in survival mode: ONCE YOUR SEE your cat on camera eating the food you set out the night before THEN the next step is trapping…I can loan you a humane trap…order the camera right now…you must aim camera at wet food **Place wet food in bowl then place bowl on a plate or in a larger bowl or pan, add water to the plate/outer bowl/pan THIS WILL PREVENT ANTS from invading the food. NO DRY FOOD - it attracts raccoons. ONLY WET. 💖🐱TRAPPING: CLICK —> TRAPPING YOUR CAT https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SwaCTR1QrhlWg6mhq8roXmJHb6nauLCHB6v38UYCPRM/edit?usp=sharing 💖🐱💖🐱DO NOT LEAVE THE FOOD IN THE CAN 💖🐱💖🐱 - it will slice a cat’s tongue!! PLACE in bowl and then place the bowl inside a larger bowl and fill the outer bowl with water to prevent ANTS from swarming the wet food Once you see kitty on camera eating the food you are putting out at sunset each night then you can plan to trap her the next night: BEFORE TRAPPING: MUST-WATCH HOW-TO VIDEO Trapper Tips and Tricks!

Dear guardian - she is not hurt she's THERE where she was lost HIDING - You MUST GO BACK to exactly where she escaped her harness NOW early morning and /or TONIGHT - they REMAIN very close to where they get sppoked EVEN when they iniitially run off - they RETURN at night when it's quiet - you must go there TONIGHT and calmly call for her where she was spooked - spend time RIGHT THERE - she is TERRIFIED , in survival mode, hiding from ALL humans... You must place WET FOOD hidden from view of humans walking by - near where she got spooked - to lure her - GET A CAMER AIMED at the wet food bowl - BUY a wifi camera in case a neighbor will let you use their WIFI and power: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3BC8661?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_DWTUFIUC0VUA399JUL3Q AND BUY a battery operated camera (no wifi needed): https://a.co/d/05v1Wrzo you can place this 1 foot away from the food bowl - under a bush so you can SEE if she eats the food when you're not there late night...if you see her on camera then the next step is to humanely trap her - I'll post guidannce on that piece. She is in survival mode - she may come forward to your calm calls at night OR she may continue to hide - and why you MUST lure to wet food nightly until you find her.... place the wet food in a bowl then place the bowl inside a larger bowl and add water to the outer bowl to prevent ants from totally invading overnight.
